The knot in your stomach. That flush of unease when you know you’ve fallen short of your own standards.
The only way to truly adapt and evolve is through real vulnerability—not the gentle, polished kind from TED talks, but the raw honesty that forces you to confront hard truths about yourself.
This isn’t about stepping out of your comfort zone in a clichéd way; it’s about embracing the discomfort and going to war until you’re fully transformed.
Today’s guest, Kyle Holland, knows a thing or two about facing challenges head-on. As an Exercise Physiologist with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, he’s worked in some of the most demanding environments and spent 10 years with the 160th SOAR(A), a Special Operations Unit in the Army. Kyle has also trained professional athletes and MMA fighters at Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning and worked with both the University of Iowa and Louisville’s football programs. A devoted husband and father of three, Kyle brings a grounded perspective to every topic he tackles.
In this episode, Brett and Kyle dive into real talk on topics including:
Taking accountability for your actions when you’re in the wrongHow to turn your setbacks into springboards for grow with grace Strategies to avoid being cut by the double-edged sword of strengths and weaknessesWhy politics gets us so riled up *Brett reveals a major life change and how he’s choosing to respondWe want to thank Kyle for joining us! Follow him on X at @CoachK_Holland and on Instagram @coachkyleholland. You can also find him across the AOC universe—at our live events and online in our digital community.

Audit. It’s one of the most unsettling words in the English dictionary, carrying a connotation of fear and unease that makes people shy away from even the slightest hint of it
But, like most intimidating things, an audit becomes far less daunting once you look at it more closely. One definition of an audit is simply “a systematic review or assessment of something.” Think of it as a straightforward check-in—a moment to take stock of where you stand and where you want to go.
At the end of the day, an audit is really about something we talk about time and time again: accountability. It’s a chance to be honest with ourselves about what’s working, what’s not, and how we can move forward with intention.
In today’s episode, Brett guides you through practical steps to reflect, recalibrate, and get back on track before the year wraps up. If you wait until January it will be too late. Topics we’ll dive into include:
Assessing your goals and determining when to pivotHow to measure growth and allow yourself grace when it’s lackingIdentifying your needle movers and deciding if it’s time to double down Letting go of the things and people who no longer serve youConstructing an immediate action plan to get started NOWIf you find this episode helpful, check out our most updated FREE Self – Reflection Guide or browse through any of our other free resources!
We’ve also created an amazing virtual course called Blindspot designed to help you tackle the barriers keeping you from achieving your personal and professional goals.
Consider joining our Mighty Networks Digital Community, where you’ll gain access to information, discussion, and a group of professionals (including the AoC Team) who are serious about their development and will help you confront the biggest obstacles keeping you from achieving your goals. For only $19.99/ month (free cancellation at any time) you can take your communication, leadership, and relationship skills to the next level.

“I’M DONE.”
It’s one of the most frustrating feelings in the world. You’ve tried everything to fix things but just can’t get through to someone. You keep hitting the wall over and over.

Key subjects covered:
Diagnosing the REAL issue: the most crucial first step to solving any problemHow to see into your blindspots through someone else’s perspetiveTwo types of errors, their differences, and how to avoid bothThe “Triple A Approach” to ensure YOU aren’t the problemUnderstanding the role our ego plays in the root cause of our discontentOne of our missions as a company is to be a beacon for people facing challenges like those we discussed in today’s episode—whether you want to become a better leader or navigate the scary realities of entrepreneurship.

Empty Coaching. Words and phrases that lack teeth.
“Good job! You’re getting there! I like that.”
“We’ve got to get better. C’mon, step it up. That’s not what I’m looking for.”
We’ve all been guilty of letting these clichés fly out of our mouths at one point or another. But do they actually help inspire change or simply fill the silence? In today’s episode, we cut through these hollow lines and explore how we, as leaders and coaches, can move beyond surface-level feedback to foster both immediate performance improvements and long-term growth..
Brett and our guest, Tex McQuilkin, get to the heart of what makes feedback impactful—what to say, when to say it, and how to become the kind of leader the world truly needs. Tex, a national-level presenter, coach, and content creator, brings his expertise as a certified strength and conditioning specialist and holds a Master’s in health behavior change. He’s led seminars in 16 countries, working with everyone from professional athletes to Navy SEALs.
Today’s show is a very fun and honest conversation between two friends and colleagues on a range of topics including:
Augmented feedback: the different types and how to make each one impactfulThe #1 tactic any coach or leader can use to improve IMMEDIATELYShame as a motivator and our ability to harness negative emotionsHow treating our thoughts as “tourists” can help us defeat our negativity biasAnd *BONUS*: What Michael Myers can teach us about coachingWe want to thank Tex for joining us! Follow him on Instagram @mcquilkin, check out his new podcast, Captains & Coaches, and catch him across the Art Of Coaching universe—whether at our live events, in our mastermind group The Coalition, or online in our digital community.
The Apprenticeship - Become more socially agile with our live Leadership Training Workshop. When we say “leadership training,” we are not referring to cheesy corny trust-falls, motivational speak, or anything of the sorts. We are talking about the things that people say they wish they would have known earlier in their career and life - how to navigate difficult people and conversations, power dynamics, negotiations, and implement change.
If you deal with people-problems at all, if you’re in a leadership position or want to be in a leadership role, if you want LESS DRAMA - you need to get to this event! Check out our entire 2025 live event schedule for the best date and location for you!

Our lives are not the movies.
When sudden, unpredictable events like family hardships or natural disasters strike, it can feel like we’re living in one. But more often, the changes in our stories are subtle.
The turmoil is internal, and we’re left to wrestle with our challenges quietly, on our own.
Today’s guest is no stranger to this real-life push and pull. She knows what it’s like to juggle the expectations of motherhood, navigate life transitions, and manage the chaos that comes with it all. Dr. Emma Laird, PT, DPT, OCS is a board-certified physical therapist at Pro Kinetix in Oakland, California, specializing in orthopedic care. She earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from MGH Institute of Health Professions and is a certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist. Emma brings a holistic approach to helping her clients return to their favorite activities while promoting lifelong movement health. A Bay Area native, Emma is passionate about sports and strength training, values she learned early on from her active upbringing. When she's not working, she enjoys spending time with her fiancé, their dog, exploring local breweries, and staying active outdoors.
Today’s show is a real-world conversation on topics such as:
Maintaining a healthy connection with your partner during a season of changeThe myth of our “best self” and how optimal is fluidManaging internal and external pressures on your career during family changes Redefining success and recalibrating your goals to align with your new life pathThe power of showing up consistently as your authentic, imperfect selfWe want to thank Emma for joining us! If you’re in the Oakland, CA area and need help recovering from an injury, visit her and her team at Pro Kinetix. You can also find her in our Art Of Coaching universe facilitating one of our live events and online in our digital community.
The Apprenticeship - Bottom line, this is for anyone who coaches, mentors, or helps others in any capacity. It’s for leaders who aren’t just talking about personal growth but are ready for a different type of challenge. Our live leadership training workshop goes beyond the usual clichés. No cheesy trust falls or empty motivational speeches. We dive into the real skills you wish you’d learned earlier in life: navigating tough conversations, handling difficult people, managing power dynamics, and driving real change.

We’ve all heard the motivational phrase, “Failure isn’t an option.” It sounds inspiring, but is it really true?
Failure, in reality, is an option—often chosen in the form of inaction, silence, or the unwillingness to engage. How many times have you held back an idea, avoided speaking up, or let a moment pass because of the fear of judgment? Playing it safe is extremely tragic.
In today’s episode, we’re diving into the cost of silence and the hidden price we pay by not putting ourselves out there. What’s really stopping us from stepping forward? And what can we do to shift from apprehension to action?
In this tough love episode, Brett takes the gloves off and gets real about:
The evolutionary roots behind our fear of rejectionHow our ego is the true source behind our hesitation to engageCriticism, its inevitability, and how to turn it into dataHarnessing pride as a shield to protect against self-devaluationNavigating the fear of success versus the fear of failureReferenced Episodes:

It’s the holy grail of mental health and wellness for many people. Almost all of us, at one point or another, have chased the elusive 'work-life balance,' hoping to find the perfect harmony between our careers and personal lives.
But is 'balance' really the right word? Perhaps it’s a misnomer that oversimplifies the complexity of juggling work and family.
Today’s topic arose from a conversation between Brett and several of our facilitators about the push and pull that occurs between career and family. It’s a concept we all struggle with in some capacity, and in this episode, we’ll share insights from that discussion along with practical strategies for managing the demands of work and family.
Tune in as we get real on a this common struggle, as we explore:
The misnomer of “balance” and how to define it for yourselfHow guilt influences decisions in your professional lifeRealigning your goals to reflect what truly mattersHow to recognize if the obstacle in your was is YOU - and what to do about itPut Us On Blast: We want to hear your thoughts!

“They just won’t listen. No matter how clearly I explain it, they refuse to see my side of things. It’s like talking to a brick wall."
Have you ever felt like this, like you're hitting a dead end with someone who just won’t budge? Influencing people is an art, one that often requires more than just logic and facts, especially in today’s world where information has been turned into a kind of religion willing to anoint whoever can wield it more skillfully.
In today’s episode, we’ll revisit several past topics and connect the dots to reveal an alternative way to move the ball forward. Oftentimes, if we try to bull our way straight ahead, we’re met with the most resistance. In reality, an indirect route can be like finding a perfect gap in the defense—avoiding tackles and making the smoothest run toward the end zone.
Topics Discussed:
The necessity of understanding power dynamics and influence tacticsHow penetrating someone’s ring of influence can help your causeCoalition building and the true strength in numbers when voices alignInvoking reciprocity and how deep-seated trust begins with givingI GET IT, NOW HOW DO I GET THIS TO WORK FOR ME? - Communication is something none of us will ever perfect, but how do you expect to get better if you don’t hold yourself accountable and do something to get better at it? We’d love for you to join us at one of our Apprenticeship workshops, where you’ll not only gain the knowledge and understanding you need to navigate the messy realities of relationships and leadership, but more importantly, you’ll get hands on experience working through your specific situation and gain the perspective of the AOC team and other individuals looking to improve themselves.

Am I a bad person? Nike’s latest ad asks this question, and the internet erupted in response. But is the real issue the ad, or what it reveals about our relationship with competition and ambition?
In this episode, Brett Bartholomew delves into the controversy surrounding Nike's recent ad, featuring Willem Dafoe’s voice and a striking depiction of athletes at their most intense. While some argue the ad promotes toxic values in sports, Brett explores the nuance behind it, offering his insights as a coach, parent, and former athlete. He dissects why the ad has sparked such strong reactions and what it says about our society’s discomfort with the more competitive, driven side of human nature.

Speaker School - Warren Buffet has said that Public Speaking is the “single greatest skill to boost your career and self worth, and is an asset that will last for 50 to 60 years.” It also happens to be most people’s biggest fear, which Buffet said if unaddressed “will also last you 50 to 60 years.” At Speaker School we help those who need to slay their inner imposter, who would just like to get better at running staff meetings at work, to those who would like to get paid to deliver keynotes. We’re holding one more Speaker School before the end of the year in Phoenix, AZ October 12-13. Take advantage of our EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT AND SAVE UP TO $200!

We’ve all been there. Our significant other is struggling and we ask “how can I help?”
While this is well-intentioned, is there anything we can do proactively to meet these challenges head on, before things completely unravel? Conversely, how can we express our own needs and clearly address what’s really bothering us, so we’re both on the same page?
If you’ve been in this situation—and let’s face it, we all have—then you’ve come to the right place. Today’s episode is packed with practical advice and exercises that you can start doing TODAY with your spouse or partner right away to enhance your relationship.
In this show, we’re diving into a no-nonsense, actionable discussion on:
“Hot zones” and how to tell your partner you’re in oneDefining your role as a helper vs. focusing on specific actionsThe importance of clearly defining your relationship essentialsHow to lean on your core values and beliefs when you need a winYOU AREN’T TOO LATE! - This episode is a sneak peek into our 30 Day Relationship Challenge that just kicked off. Bottom line, no one has a perfect relationship, no matter what it looks like on the surface.

Whether you’re single, married, or would just like to communicate better with your kids, we can help enrich the relationships that mean the most to you. What could be more valuable than that? No travel is required, you can work through this on the couch with your significant other (glass of wine optional) at your own pace.

“Before tackling this problem, let me figure out how to make this simple. It’s really not that complicated…”
Have you ever taken this approach when dealing with a difficult issue with your family, friends, staff, or coworkers? While this tactic might work in some situations, most complex problems require solutions that reductive thinking simply can’t provide.
Library and bookstore shelves are brimming with management and leadership books packed with "how-to" lists, buckets, quadrants, and countless linear methods that promise to solve problems easily and efficiently, and take your people and business to the next level. From simplifying decision-making to categorizing leadership styles, these books often present a structured, step-by-step approach that appeals to those looking for quick fixes and plug and play templates.
Whether it’s procrastination, avoidance, or just the allure of a quick fix, it’s time to roll up our sleeves and confront why we keep dipping into this well of oversimplified solutions—because, as Mike Tyson said, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. And when the real challenges hit, those tidy answers rarely stand up to the blow.
In today’s podcast, we’re taking the gloves off and having a frank conversation about:
Framework hopping, what it is and why people do itWhy exposure alone NEVER equates to real skill or competenceThe long term effects of over relying on simple fixes to solve complex problemsHow leaning into the thing you’re avoiding is the best path forwardAs always, we love your feedback! Happy, sad, mad, indifferent (which isn’t very helpful, if you want to get better at giving feedback check out this episode) send it all to [email protected].

Have you ever thought, "I'd love to do that, but I just don't have the money," or do you have interests or passions outside of your professional life that you've suppressed in order to advance your career?
Maybe you've pushed aside personal goals, believing the myth that true success requires unwavering focus on your career alone.
It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that anything outside of work is a distraction. But what if those very experiences—those that broaden our perspective, teach us new skills, and enrich our lives—could actually enhance your career as well?
This week's guest refuses to be confined to one distinct category. Taylor Evernden is the owner and director of ORKA Performance in Calgary, AB, Canada. Previously, he served as the Head of Sport Science and Strength & Conditioning for the Calgary Foothills Soccer Club, where he oversaw the athletic development of U12-18 teams, as well as the W League and USL PDL. In addition to his extensive experience in athletic performance, Taylor has a keen interest in ACL rehabilitation and general return-to-sport rehab.

Do you think mentorship is a straightforward, progressive process? Think again.
We envision that ideal student-teacher relationship or the picturesque blacksmith-apprentice image, but in reality, things just don't work that way. People are complex and being an effective mentor requires a playbook that goes far beyond a cookie-cutter list of ideal traits.
In this episode we're turning back the clock and rediscovering the hard truths of what it takes to be a great mentor. We examine:
Setting someone up for success vs. hand-holdingReciprocity and the NEED for collaborationChallenging comfort zones through accountabilityHow to say the hard stuff and promote self-relianceMentoring - One of our missions as a company was to be a beacon for people who need help becoming a better leader, building more meaningful relationships, and navigating the scary realities of entrepreneurship. Our 1:1 mentoring program was built to fill that gap and give you a clear path to progress. Schedule a free discovery call with our team, or email us at [email protected].
